OpenManage Integration for Microsoft System Center Version 7.2 for System Center Configuration Manager and System Center Virtual Machine Manager User’s Guide
Windows Preinstallation Environment (WinPE) image is used for deploying operating system. Use an updated WinPE image for deploying operating system as the WinPE image available from SCCM or SCVMM may not contain the latest drivers. To create a WinPE image having all the required drivers, update the image using DTK. Ensure that relevant operating system-related driver packs are installed in Lifecycle Controller.

Providing WIM file for SCCM
Steps
Copy the
boot.wim file from the following location

Providing WIM file for SCVMM
Boot.WimPE base image to be provided for injecting in the latest boot critical Dell drivers from DTK is generated by installing PXE server in SCVMM.
Steps
Install and configure Windows Deployment Server (WDS) role on a server, and then add the PXE server to SCVMM.
Copy the
boot.wim file from the PXE server present at the following location
C:\RemoteInstall\DCMgr\Boot\Windows\Images, and then paste it to a share folder accessible by
OMIMSSC.
For example, location of shared path:
\\shareip\sharefolder\boot.wim
Next steps
WDS and PXE server is required only for generating the WinPE based boot.in image and not to be used in deployment scenarios.
